If you loved Kokuho, try Hula Girls
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Sang-il Lee, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Kokuho, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Hula Girls is
In 1960s Japan, a group of small-town girls bet their futures on a hula dream. Their Hawaiian village fails before it starts amid local skepticism. The locals learn Hawaiian isn’t the language of paradise.
